White-throated Manakin
The White-throated Manakin is a Passeriforme of the family Pipridae. It is found north of the Amazon and east of the Rio Negro.
Characteristics
It is about 9 cm in length. The male is black with a white bib on the throat which ends in a point on the upper breast. The female is dull olive-green above and mostly greyish-white below.
Food
It regularly accompanies mixed flocks and feeds on small fruits and insects in the canopy. It forages at higher levels than most other manakins.
Breeding
Up to 6 males can gather in a lek to display to a female. The displays are focussed on a mossy log on the forest floor and can include a spectacular display where the dominant male spirals up to the canopy before plunging back to the log.
Habits
It is found in humid forest, occasionally at forest edges and mainly in hilly areas.
Distribution
In Brazil it is only found north of the Amazon and east of the Rio Negro mainly in Amapá, Roraima and north of Manaus. It is also found in the Guianas and Venezuela.
